“That’s the great problem with anyone wanting to study magic,” replied Wicca. “When we set out on the path, we always have a fairly clear idea of what we hope to find. Women are generally seeking their Soul Mate, and men are looking for Power. Neither party is really interested in learning. They simply want to reach the thing they have set as their goal. “But the path of magic—like the path of life—is and always will be the path of Mystery.

It understands your language. And the world will begin to take on a different meaning for you.”
